Traveling--Journey to Adventure

Life has a way of taking me to a lot of different places.  Sometimes these journeys require travel and other times they keep me right here in my own little world.  Over the last year, I have been on a sort of journey that has taken me physically into places and circumstances that are way out of my comfort level.  This has been a spiritual journey that often times, what am I saying?  All the time, I feel illequipped to be on.  I tend to trudge along, feeling like my pack is way too heavy to bear and assuming this is exactly where God wants me to be.  In my head, and sometimes even out loud, I am saying, "Really? Really, God? Is this what life is supposed to look like?"   When in reality He wants me to rely on him for my map, my provision, and carrying my pack.  In this journey, I believe God has given me a very small glimpse of His compassion for my world and the people around me.  Boy, is that uncomfortable.  Through this little peep-hole into His compassion I know that God wants me to reach out and love the people around me, but not just to help them and change the world.  He is using this to change my life, the way that I think, and make me a little more like Jesus.  To do this I will have to significantly expand my capacity to love and the only way I can even hope to do this is through my reliance on God and this journey He is taking me on.  Wow, doggies, I think this journey has just turned into an adventure.  I know this going to be good.
